THE bill to provide an industrial retreat
for ex-convicts, we have already COM
mended. 1t is to be regretted that it came
along late in the session. 1t should pass,
as a matter Of pure economy. As our
practice now is, we simply drive discharged
convicts back to the paths of vice, and
thus make them again charges upon the
State. First, the police put them under
surveillance; next, old convicts, with no
desire to reform blackmail such as do Sc
cure employment, and finally, society turns
the cold shoulder to them. The ex-con-
Wet who does not return to vicious COM
partnership, under our present system, must
be man of extraordinary irmness, and
his determination to be law-abiding must
be fortified by the courage of the martyrs.
If the parole system is adopted, as the
Pathological Commission desire, the ex-con-
Wet will be very much better situated, for,
if at all deserving, he will have been tried
in active walks while under State control,
be protected and aided by the State, and
viii have planted his feet firmly in honest
ways, before he is given full liberty.

INVENTIVE genius has failed in nothing
SO deplorably as in attempts to supplant
the car stove by less dangerous heating
apparatus. The terrible accident in Yer
mont recently was intensified in its horrors
by the burning to death of many of the
victims. No one knows how many were
killed by the falling of the cars into the
river, but we do know that many could
have been saved if the burning of the cars
had not driven the rescuers back. 1t was
"holacaust as well as a terrible plunge
of train. Elevated Railway trains in
New York are heated by steam; but it is
Vi difficult matter to apply this method to
rapidly moving railroad trains, and in
wolves very large cost and more capacious
boilers than speedy locomotives can carry.
To hot air much the same objections APP
ply In excessive cold seasons neither
substitute is deemed sufficient, as remote
cars on "a train do not receive the vapor
sufficiently warmed. The railroad companies
generally are very anxious to supersede
the deadly car stove and that it has not
yet been done is simply due to the fact
that inventors have not proved equal to
the task, though half hundred or more
devices have been suggested
